As a result of stealing like this you are liable to action being taken against you the same as if you committed a crime ‘offline’.

This is NOT gray hat or even black hat. This is just plain criminal.

Hi dyzner,

Really you got the FBI involved?

I had my identity stolen by a HUGE Chinese fraud ring that applied to a TON of affiliate networks pretending to be, using all my personal info. They made a TON of fraudulent commission pretending to be lots of other people. I know because I went to far as tracking down one of their US mail houses they had cks sent to and getting her to hold and collect their cks for a month without forwarding to them in China as evidence for the FBI. I couldn’t get anywhere with the FBI. It’s like I was talking a different language.

I’ll email you the info about this and thanks for the offer to help!

Has anyone considered forwarding information about this to the FBI Cyber Crimes Unit? I had someone overseas copy my entire website, verbatim, and the FBI actually got involved. This seems even more up their alley.

Linda, if you’re willing, send me all the info you can find about this crap and I’ll forward it to my contact at the FBI and get his take on it. I don’t want to post my email address here so let me know how we can communicate off the forum.

I agree. Hope this kind of marketing practice just gets wiped out!

this is not only illegal but also prosecutable
it is only a matter of time before there is a crackdown as this information is becoming quickly known and those involved will more then likely be spending either jail time, paying fines or both.
Warning to any affiliate contemplating practicing these unethical and illegal ventures. You more then likely will be prosecuted for this. Do not join in these practices
